Masked Jackal Lyrics by Coroner

Coroner

1988

[Verse 1]
I saw his face, on every channel
His slogans in all the papers
I heard people, repeat his words
I saw them shouting, his flag in their hands

[Pre-Chorus]
I saw him making promises
I heard him talk about life
But I saw his fingers too
They were crossed behind his back

[Chorus]
Darling... of the TV screen
Manipulator... of the purse strings
Master... of the spoken words
Jackal... with connections

[Post-Chorus]
Worshipped... by the masses
Leader... with ulterior motives

[Interlude]
(All talk and no do)
(Is neither a good offense or defense)
(Get with it boys and girls)
(Your house needs to be put in order too)

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Darling... of the TV screen
Manipulator... of the purse strings
Master... of the spoken words
Jackal... with connections

[Post-Chorus]
Worshipped... by the masses
Leader... with ulterior motives

[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
His slate, clean as snow
Covers over his dark past
To be in league with workers
Pictures he loved to see

[Pre-Chorus]
But I read in his eyes
Promotion... reality
He played his part to the end
Shot... leaving a shambles

[Chorus]
Darling... of the TV screen
Manipulator... of the purse strings
Master... of the spoken words
Jackal... with connections

[Post-Chorus]
Worshipped... by the masses
Leader... with ulterior motives
Worshipped... by the masses
Leader... with ulterior motives
